Perhaps Indus Valley on 100th and Broadway. I've enjoyed my meals there, though they can be a little rich and are slightly pricey. But I haven't tried the Indian places on the Upper West Side that other hounds prefer. You would do well to search "UWS Indian," "Upper West Side Indian," etc., and likewise for sushi. Enjoy your date!

I was considering Indus Valley, but wasn't sure if it is a date friendly place? I'd actually prefer sushi, and was considering Haku or Momoya, but again I'm not sure if these are date appropriate places? Would also consider tapas,

Have you been to Neo? It's not my personal favorite sushi place, as I tend to be more of a purist, but if you're into Japanese fusion, I think it would be a good place to go for a date. I went again on Sunday and found the fish really fresh and very good, and my boyfriend really enjoyed his tuna dish.

Don't go to Neo... very expensive. Gari is not cheap, but better imo. For indian, try Swagat, I think it's pretty good though no atmosphere to speak of. As an alternative, try Genaro for Italian or Kefi for Greek.

Agreed. I find it very expensive and not necessarily worth it (although I did enjoy what I had last time) but the boyfriend loves it and it was his birthday so we went. I just thought cuisine-wise it might fit the bill for this occasion.

I'll second (or third?) Momoya. Sushi is more reasonably priced than Neo and I like the atmosphere better. It's an appropriate date place. The back seating area has more secluded tables (in the corners).

I'd say Momoya is the most appropriate out of the choices for Sushi. Much better atmosphere than other places in the area, reasonably priced, and good fish and prepared dishes. For Indian, Swagat is good, and has a nice interior. Indus Valley is decent food, but I've only had delivery from them. Earthen Oven has very good food, but the atmosphere isn't the best. Pasha (Turkish) would be a good place to go, nice atmosphere, and very good food when I've been there. I wouldn't suggest Kefi unless you can eat downstairs. The upstairs is loud and can be tough to converse in. I like the downstairs for a date, but upstairs might be a bit too much.
